To facilitate automatic failover you could take a look at heartbeat which is part of the Linux-HA project

	Subject: How to mirror or Replicate a primary server's data to asecondarymachine
	
	

	Hi,
	
	I am considering whether to go down the path of a dual server, manual
	failover solution for one of my RHEL fileservers.
	
	I would have two identical servers in two different machine rooms on our
	site and if the main server failed then I would manually reconfigure the
	secondary server with the primary server's IP address so that the client
	machines can carry on working.
	
	Can anyone recommend to me what I need to do to mirror the data across
	the two servers so that updates to the primary server are also made to
	the secondary server

	
	
	Thanks in advance for any help
	
	Regards
	
	Gary Mansell
